After the planning, packing, and anticipation, we finally touched down in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the start of a brand new chapter in our travels.
There’s always that mix of tiredness and excitement after a flight. We checked in, unpacked just enough to feel settled, and couldn’t resist heading straight upstairs to see what awaited us.
And what a welcome it was.First Look at the City
The infinity pool on the rooftop gave us our very first glimpse of Kuala Lumpur. As we stepped out, the skyline opened up in front of us skyscrapers stretching across the horizon, the city glowing in the evening light.
The timing couldn’t have been better. The sun was setting, painting the sky in streaks of orange, pink, and deep blue. On one side, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers were already beginning to light up, shimmering against the dusk. On the other, the KL Tower stood proudly, watching over the city.
It was one of those pinch me travel moments: bags still half unpacked, but already feeling like we’d arrived somewhere special.
Tomorrow, the adventure would begin properly. But for now, this view infinity pool blending into skyline, city lights flickering to life was enough.
Arriving in Kuala Lumpur reminded us why we travel: for moments like this. That first look at a new skyline, the excitement of being somewhere completely different, and the calm joy of sharing it.
